However, it seems he, too, has been missing ARMY just as much as they've been waiting for him. On June 13, BTS' debut anniversary, SUGA finally broke his months-long silence — and his first message was dedicated to his fans.
SUGA's message for ARMY
With six out of the seven BTS members now discharged from the military, fans are eagerly waiting for SUGA — who is currently serving as a public service worker until June 21. However, during the BTS Festa 2025 event, SUGA also left a heartfelt message for ARMY alongside the rest of the members.
In a voice note, he said: "Hello, this is SUGA. I feel like it's been so long since I got to greet you. ARMY, have you been doing well? I've been spending my time waiting for the day I get to see you again. I miss you so much. I love you, everyone."

BTS' Jungkook's solo tour and new music coming soon? Eagle-eyed fans spot NEW hint
BTS' Jungkook returned from the military on June 11 after serving for 18 months as an active member of the ROK army. He, alongside Jimin, was stationed at the 5th Infantry Division in Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi Province, as buddy soldiers, which allowed them to stay close together throughout their stint. Post returning, it has been rumored that Jungkook would resume his solo music career while the group preps for a full team comeback. A recent update in the form of custom in-ears is raising fans' expectations. The Instagram account, soundcat_custom_gallery, shared their design for the BTS member's new earphones. They appeared in a clean mirror, gold plate design. With the revelation of the new pair of music accessories, it seems that Jungkook is gearing up for some new performances, and we can only assume a tour is likely to follow. While there have not been any announcements from the artist or his label's end, there's already a lot of buzz being created. Previously, ticketing accounts shared plans for his solo concerts from September onwards while going around multiple cities that have been waiting for the Standing Next to You singer. BTS' full group album release plans Announcing their comeback as a team, via the livestream on July 1, BTS confirmed that they are set to start working on new music in the same month. Moreover, they also revealed plans to release a new album in Korean Spring 2026, which lasts from March to May, essentially agreeing with the previously rumored schedule. They will then go on a world tour, their first in almost 7 years, as affirmed by the seven members. RM shared that the group plans to conduct a mobile song camp-like situation where they will go around multiple cities to work on new music and travel together. While Jin works on his solo tour, the team will also follow his timeline to ensure they can record with him. Fans have also expressed excitement over this new challenge and method that the team will take on.

Did BTS' SUGA get injured during alternative military service? Fans spot alleged scar during livestream
BTS held their first group livestream on July 1, surprising fans with one after almost 3 years since their military break began in 2022. Since then, the members have taken on solo endeavors, but are now all set to reunite. The event was special for the fans, more so because they were able to see SUGA back on screen after his own military service completion. However, he seemed to be hiding his hands from the camera. Now, the BTS ARMY is concerned about member Min Yoongi's palm after spotting an apparent injury on it, wondering what happened to the rapper. BTS' SUGA attends first post-military official schedule During the video on fan community platform Weverse, BTS was able to discuss their upcoming plans for a new album release in Spring 2026 and poke fun at each other, something that the viewers thoroughly enjoyed. One such moment was when leader RM randomly shouted the music show phrase, 'wait for a while' which had the other members automatically pull out their hands and show their palms to the screen. The other 6 did the 'wait' action at once; however, SUGA refrained from doing so. Which seemed normal at first, but later, as fans began digging into the minute details of the live stream, they spotted an alleged injury on his palm, making them worry. The rapper waved them goodbye when his palm was finally visible, showing folded skin. Neither the singer nor his agency has so far commented on it. Previously, SUGA was detained on account of an electric scooter DUI on August 6, 2024, which ended up in a 15 million won (approximately USD 11,500) fine for the singer. He had publicly apologized for his actions back then and ended up staying away from the spotlight until the end of his alternative military duty on June 21 after doing social service for 21 months. Once again, he expressed his sorry feelings with a note to fans on his personal Weverse account and promised to visit them occasionally. He was then seen at fellow member Jin's solo concert on June 29 alongside Jungkook and Jimin, when he updated his Instagram story for the first time in 2 years.

Indian singer with 150 million Spotify followers beats Taylor Swift, BTS to become most-followed artist globally
Spotify has crowned legendary Indian musician Arijit Singh as the most followed artist in the world, beating global stars like Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, BTS, The Weeknd, and more. This marks the third time Arijit has topped the chart. In 2024, his Spotify follower count shot up to 118 million, with hits like 'Tum Hi Ho', 'Kesariya', and 'Tum Kya Mile' dominating the charts. This year, tracks like 'Dhun' from Saiyara, 'Jaane Tu' from the Vicky Kaushal-starrer Chhaava, and others have made it to the list of top streamers. As of July 1, Arijit Singh had a staggering 151 million followers on Spotify, with 14-time Grammy winner Taylor Swift trailing behind at 139 million. Also read: K-pop group once dubbed 'female BTS' hit hiatus at career peak, dragged into controversy with future uncertain Arijit, already a household name and widely regarded as one of India's greatest voices, holds multiple hats as a composer, singer, producer, and National Award winner. He's now beaten some of the biggest Western names, including Ed Sheeran (121 million), Billie Eilish (114 million), and The Weeknd (107.2 million). Back in August 2023, he briefly surpassed Swift before slipping down. But in 2024, only three artists crossed the 100 million mark, including Ed Sheeran. By 2025, the list expanded to names like Ariana Grande (105.8 million) and Eminem (101.7 million). K-pop legends BTS currently sit at around 80 million. Arijit's steady rise on the global streaming platform is nothing short of a milestone, not just for him, but for Indian music as a whole, especially considering Spotify only entered the Indian market in 2019. His recent numbers are a loud reminder that Arijit's influence goes well beyond India's borders. Also read: BTS' Suga warns 'the market's not the same' as group confirms 2026 comeback and tour After Arijit, it's only another legendary musician, AR Rahman from India, who made it to the top 20 list, with 49 million followers. Singh recently teamed up with Ed Sheeran for their much-hyped track Sapphire. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift, who dropped her latest album The Tortured Poets Department last year, wrapped up her record-breaking Eras Tour, which pulled in a mind-blowing USD 2 billion in ticket sales. She recently won back the masters of her early discography and hinted at revisiting a few songs, but as of now, 2025 hasn't seen any new album release from her. Billie Eilish, riding high on her Academy Award win, released Hit Me Hard and Soft, her third studio album in 2024. Singh, meanwhile, continues to enjoy global popularity, headlining back-to-back sold-out shows overseas. Another Indian star making serious noise on the international scene is Diljit Dosanjh, with nearly 33 million followers and a fanbase that refuses to quit growing.
